The 93rd
Toronto Glenview Presbyterian Church's Scout Group
conforms with
the MISSION of Scouts Canada.
In addition, the 93rd will not turn away any
youth wishing to be a part of Scouting due to financial
constraints. Please contact the Registrar if you
are in this situation.
The Mission of Scouts Canada
To contribute to the education of young people,
through a value system based on the Scout Promise and
Law, to help build a better world where people are
self-fulfilled as individuals and play a constructive
role in society.
Scouting’s Mission is achieved by:
- involving youth
throughout their formative years in a non-formal
educational process.
- using a specific
method that makes each individual the principal
agent in his or her development as a self-reliant,
supportive, responsible and committed person.
- assisting youth to
establish a value system based upon spiritual,
social and personal principles as expressed in the
Promise and Law.
Scouting is based on three broad principles which
represent its fundamental beliefs. These include:
- Duty to
God: Defined as, The responsibility to
adhere to spiritual principles, and thus to the
religion that expresses them, and to accept the
duties therefrom.
- Duty to
Others: Defined as, The responsibility to
one's local, national and global community members
to promote peace, understanding and cooperation,
through participation in the development of society,
respect for the dignity of one's fellow-beings, and
protection of the integrity of the natural world.
- Duty to
Self: Defined as, The responsibility for
the development of oneself to one's full potential
physically, intellectually, spiritually and
socially.
